Summary
Government subsidies for remanufacturing benefit supply chain members. Original equipment manufacturers and logistics providers favor service scope subsidies, while remanufacturers prefer service level subsidies for increased profits.
Area of Science:
- Operations Research
- Supply Chain Management
- Environmental Economics
Background:
- Remanufacturing is a key component of the circular economy, promoting advanced recycling.
- Government subsidies are increasingly used to encourage remanufacturing activities and regulate related enterprises.
Purpose of the Study:
- To analyze optimal decision-making in a closed-loop supply chain under government subsidy policies.
- To investigate the impact of remanufacturer service level and logistics provider service scope on equilibrium outcomes.
Main Methods:
- A game model was constructed with a leader-follower structure (logistics provider as leader, OEM and remanufacturer as followers).
- Equilibrium decision-making was solved considering government subsidies.
Main Results:
- Government subsidy policies are consistently profitable for all participating enterprises.
- Original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and logistics providers benefit from subsidies focused on logistics service scope, enhancing new product service levels.
- Remanufacturers find subsidies for their service level more effective for profit maximization.
Conclusions:
- Subsidy design is crucial for optimizing supply chain performance in remanufacturing.
- Tailored subsidies can align enterprise objectives with circular economy goals.
- Strategic government intervention can foster both new product and remanufactured product markets.

Control systems are foundational elements in automation and engineering. They are broadly categorized into open-loop and closed-loop systems. These classifications hinge on the presence or absence of feedback mechanisms, significantly influencing the system's performance, complexity, and application.
An open-loop control system operates without feedback from the output. It consists of two primary elements: the controller and the controlled process. The controller receives an input signal...

Decision-making is a fundamental cognitive process that involves evaluating alternatives and selecting among them. This process can range from simple choices, such as deciding what to wear, to complex decisions, like choosing a major in college or a career path. The complexity of the decision often dictates the approach we use, which can be broadly categorized into two types: automatic and controlled decision-making.

A servo system exemplifies a second-order system, featuring a proportional controller and load elements that ensure the output position aligns with the input position. The relationship between these components is described by a second-order differential equation. Applying the Laplace transform under zero initial conditions yields the transfer function, showing how inputs are converted to outputs in the system.
By reinterpreting the system, one can derive the closed-loop transfer function, which...
